Could someone describe the difference in sound I might get from a headphone amp like the Schiit Magni (apart from maximum volume, I don't need any more of that), compared to any of my current equipment? Or if the Magni is not an appreciable improvement, what sort of amp would be? Here is a list...

Looking for a 2.1 set-up from 2 bookshelves and a sub (and an amp?).  Not too familiar with the audio world but I done a bit of research in the past couple of weeks... boy is it complicated!    Anyway, they'll be used for my gaming pc, for games, music (most genres) and the odd film here and...

So I am very new to this and I picked up the Logitec z2300 system for christmas a year or two back and I am curious how bad I did at the uneducated buy. At the time it was 120 new on amazon they have since stopped production on them and the price seems to be all over the place. So far as sound...

A little help needed please.   Instead of buying a headphone amp, I put all my allotted money into 2 new headphones (Grado 225's, and soon to buy the Beyerdynamic 770-Pro 80ohm or the DT 990 32ohm/or/250ohm).   I have a Denon AVR-810 receiver that I'd like to plug my headphones into and...

Hi everyone!   I bought a pair of DT880s 600 for about a month so far and I love it so much. I kind of babied them for the first two weeks, but I've been using them much more often now. I figured I can always buy replacement earpads and headband when I need to, so I don't have to worry about...

Hi everyone, I actually don't own the 650s yet but I do plan to eventually. I was wondering if you guys could recommends some amp/DAC that would pair up nicely with these phones. As of right now I just have my HD 280s running through my logitech z2300 speakers off onboard sound. I was thinking...

I am in the market for some new cans, but I have no idea where to start my research. From other internet forums, I have heard this is the place to go if you want to know anything about headphones. My budget is about $400. I don't know if this is a good budget or not but I can't stretch it much...

Hey guys, I was wondering what you think are the best speakers for around $100 that I can connect to my apple PowerBook G4 laptop that sound similar to the audio technica ES7 headphones(somewhat frontal mids, nice bottom end and slightly sparkly highs)?
